And now for today's dose of reality.
She already knows about all your knives.
You aren't James Bond.
Oh, trust me. Some women have no idea. I am one of those mystical creatures who actually own a safe and kept my knives in it. I lived in bad neighborhood and didnt trust anyone. She NEVER had the combination to that safe.

This sounds like my wife and me. I've tested her by putting two completely different knives in the same spot just a couple minutes apart, to see if she'd notice or say anything. She never has. And yes, when she asks how long I've had "that" one, the answer is always "I've had this one for a while."

The pivot on the Southern Grind Spider Monkeys sometimes are a little tight. Keep it back at centered and it will wear in smooth as butter in a pretty big hurry.
As for your wife, unless you had it written in the wedding vows you are fine! If you actually had to state that you would keep your knife supply at 10 knives in your vows, then just go ahead and call a lawyer now

If I'm worried about getting caught I just have my brother fence it and get one with the same general features (black scales, satin blade). She doesn't pay close enough attention to really tell the difference. Or I just put the old battleaxe in her place.
OK... I find the best method is to tell her I want another knife, specifically why my life is incomplete without it, then give her some time to come to terms with it. After all, I love my wife more than most of my knives.

Sounds like a joke on the surface, but, here is the big but. It makes you a liar and a person who has broken a promise to the one you love that you have been married to for a month. Not a good start. It shows selfishnesd, immaturity, and lack of integrity.
Would you like her breaking promises she made too you? I bet not. Little lies turn into bigger lies eventuality. If that is how you want your marriage to start then have at it. It will either not last long or you will both be paranoid and miserable as hell.

Haha I say that too, oh I've had this one forever, I also paid 100 bucks for my sebenza. What they don't know won't hurt them. But hey, she has a closet literally full of shoes and I've never seen her buy any, house of lies. but money isn't a problem right now so its cool, but if it was then it would be different.

They don't always lead to bigger lies, that's your choice. But that's just my opinion, to each their own.
Lighten up Francis.
This is a lighthearted thread. No one here needs your moral judgement. You don't know the OP, or his wife, so you're in no position to judge him or predict the outcome of his marriage.
And who are you to question anyone's integrity.

Can you return the knife? Maybe you should consider that option.
If not, don't lie to her but don't offer any information either. Just quietly hang on to the knife for a while before you start using it. When and if she calls you on it, be honest and up front. "Sweetheart, I have had this knife for x amount of time. I know what I told you about getting a new knife, I screwed up and I am sorry. However the knife is not returnable, it has been to long."
If she acts like a British bull dog, sinking her teeth in and not letting go, you learned the lesson early in the marriage.
If she gives you grief, it won't be for long. Just make sure that you do something nice for her. Also, let her see you pass up a few knives for a while before you pick up any more.
No knife, purse, etc. is as important as your spouse. My wife does not understand why I like knives, guns, or motorcycles. I can't understand why she needs more than three purses, black, brown, and white. Yet, I purchased a purse for her B-day last month and she got me a Europe only SAK for mine last May.

Bad bad bad advise lol
You gotta pick your battles in marriage and over a "new"knife isn't one of em.
Aslong as the bills are paid and your not getting ready to have The electric shut off, car repossed, water disconnected, or house foreclosed on then a new knife isn't hurting anyone.

Well this has been an interesting and educational thread. I have learned that though BF is a great place to get some solid knife advice, I'd be best served to seek my "wife and life" advice elsewhere.

It works lol if your knives are all users and not safe queens the key is to get a scratch or to on em as soon as you get em. That way if confronted with when did you get that and you reply with I've had this one forever it looks used and not like a shiny new toy.
Also atleast most you guys seem to collect folders which are easily placed out of sight, I mainly buy fixed blades ranging from 3"-15". Those are slightly more difficult to go unnoticed.
